Congressional.
WASHINGTON, May 17.-The Senate has
passed the Wost Point appropriation bill.
It contains a provision prohibiting the ap?
pointment of any cadet who served in tho
army or navy ot the Confederacy. Tho
consular and diplomatic appropriation bill
also passed. ,
The House resumed the consideration of
tho tax bill. A letter was received from
Ger.. Qrant, recommending an increase of
the regular army, for the purpose of sup?
plying the places of thone now going ont of
service.
New York Market.
NEW YORK, May 17.-Cotton firm. Sales

European Items.
NEW YORK, May 16.-London dates of

Prussia/has declared to the German Diet
that the warlike preparations on her part
are entirely of a defensive character.
The Austrian reply to tho Prussian noto
was conciliatory, but declimea to disarm
under the circumstances.
The warlike preparations of Venetia are
being pushed forward energetically. It
was rumored that Venetia would soon be
placed in a state cf siege.
A mutual understanding bas been ar?
rived at between France and Austria, in
accordance with which Austria undertakes
that, should Italy attack Venetia indepen?
dently of France, none of the eventual re?
sults of victory will bo secured by Austria,
without the diplomatic intervention of
France. The asserted object of Austria in
menacing Prussia and italy is to force
England to assent to a European Congross.
Nothing has been heard ot tho steamship

"Lo! THE POOR NEGRO-"-This
is but one of a thousand similar cases
that have occurred in various parts
of the South. We copy the follow?
ing from the Louisville Courier:
"A gentleman of this city, who was
banished to the South by the milita?
ry authorities during the war, left a
negro woman with three children in
this city, who, for some three years,
had been acting for herself, and a
part of the time assisted by a husband
to whom she was married some year
and a half ago. Recently, the woman
died, anet such was the penury of her?
self and husband, not even a coffin
could be paid for, and the funeral
expenses (some $30) had to be defray?
ed by her late master-a returned, re
cousirucUal rebel. Thc children were
left in utter destitution, and to save
them from starvation, have to be
cared for by their late owner."
TENNESSEE POLITICS.-The bogus
Legislature of Tennessee has passed
an Act to issue bonds for the pay?
ment to loyal men of losses on ac?
count of the war, together with boun?
ties to those who were disabled^and
the families of those wi. o died in the
service. The conservative press of
. the State urge that popular meetings
be held in every County of the State,
and resolutions adopted giving notice
.' to all concerned, that, when the peo?
ple of Tennessee shall have regained
the management of their own affairs,
which will happen at least as soon as
August, 1867, they will refuse to pay
one dollar, principal or interest of the
. bonds issued in pursuance of these
plundering schemes. This will pre?
vent the negotiation of the bonds,
and defeat the scheme of the Brown?
low faction.
FRA?TCE AND SPAIN.-The New York
Herald's Valparaiso correspondent
says:
"Certain highly important docu?
ments sent to the Chilean President
by the Dictator of Peru have been
forwarded by General Kilpatrick to
Washington, showing some time ago
a French stranger died suddenly in
Lima. Among his effects were pa?
pers proving him to have been a
French agent, coming with proposals
to the Dictator of Peru to make him?
self king or emperor, promising men
and money from France under the
Mexican flag-*-in other words, through
I Maximilian. This exposesa scheme
\ between France and Spain to make a
1 jump at all the small South American
^republics. England approves, but
does not help by men or money.
THE NEGROES IN THE GALLERIES OF
CONGRESS IN WASHINGTON.-The
Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Sunday Mercury thus
writes:
"The negroes at the Capitol have
taken complete possession of all the
public places, and on Wednesday
last we counted 2S4 contrabands, of
the filthiest character, in the gallery
of the House, and as we left, in utter
disgust and amazement, the darkeys
i were ponriug in. A large number ot
them had baskets, with their dinner,
which they eat in the galleries, as
though it were an eating saloon. The
cushions are lilied with vermin, and
it will take many a bottle of Lyon's
powder to kill off the creeping things
that stick so close, to the filthy con?
trabands."
A circular has beeu issued from the
Treasury Department, requesting the
cashiers of national banks to trans?
mit, with their other returns, a state?
ment of the amounts iu their hands
to the credit of each disbursing officer
of the United States, military, naval
and miscellaneous. Paymaster-Gene?
ral Brice has issued an order to pay?
masters to report weekly to the Trea?
surer of the United States the
amouuts of public money deposited
o their credit, and where deposited.
IMPORTANT BILL APPROVED BY THE
PRESIDENT.-The President has ap?
proved the bill to incorporate the
National Theological Institute in the
District of Columbia, for the educa?
tion of persons for the Christian
ministry. There is to be no exclu?
dion from the institute on account of
theological belief. The bill is silent
as to race or color. He hes also ap?
proved the bill to extend the jurisdic?
tion of the Court of Claims, so that
it can now hear and determine the
claims of paymasters and other dis?
bursing officers for relief from re?
sponsibilities on account of losses,
captures, Ac, in the Une of duty.
Appeals, however, may be taken to
the Supreme Court, as in other cases.
As the investigation into the affairs
of the Merchants' National Bank of
"Washington extends, the more is the
complete rottenness of the concern
exhibited. It has transpired that in
addition to Government losses al?
ready published, there were $250,000
deposited by J. B. Hobbs, the dis?
bursing clerk of the Treasury De?
partment. The indications are that
the wreck is complete, and the depo?
sitors will get little or nothing. It is
the general impression among bnsi
noss men that Freeman Clarke, Comp?
troller of the Currency, is highly
cidpablo in the matter, as it is his
business to know the condition of tho
National Banks.
- .
Mr.- Doolittle, of Wisconsin, in
reply to a blood-thirsty radical, mado
the statement that some time ago
measures had boen taken to indict
Gen. Lee, and the subject had been
referred to Gen. Grant, who indig?
nantly spurned the idea, as it was ex?
pressly provided, when the Confede?
rate armies surrendered, that those
composing them should not be mo?
lesten so long as they obeyed tho
laws. v <i
The Herald's special says that un
unfavorable comment is excited by
the fact of paymasters and others
having such large sums deposited in
banks to their own credit, and upon
which they undoubtedly receive
interest or douceurs in some way,
while the Government is paying . a
high rate of interest on the same
money, obtained on temporary loans
and otherwise.
RICHMOND DARKIES.-A Boston
man, writing home from Richmond,
says: "Though I do not believe fifty
Southern gentlemen would wish tt>
seo slavery restored, I um convinced
that many of the blacks would prefer
slavery to the condition to which
they have' been reduced by sudden
emancipation."
The Secretary of thc Treasury gives
notice that the Treasurer of the
United States has been instructed to
receive and pay unmatured United
States certificates of indebtedness,
with accrued interest, to the extent of
$20,000,000, if presented to him before
the first proximo.
The Boston editors are very indig?
nant at the admiration, affection and
veneration which we entertain for
the memory and virtues of Stonewall
Jackson. After reading their angry
comments upon o-p* respect for a dead
hero, we eau very well understand
their admiration for that living beast,
the bottled Butler.
DR. CHEEVER REBUKED.-Dr. ( 'bee?
ver, in his sermon in New York on
Sunday, referring to the President,
said: "You have power with God
that may sweep him from the place
of power." Several members of the
congregation arose and left the place
when th?3 sentence was pronounced.
The English journals all seem to

HOUSEHOLD WORDS.
SPEAKING of'"Household Words," Josh
thinks Sugar and Plums ave much
sweeter and better household words, and
a good deal less Greekish than Sozodont:
because every little lisping child and some
big ones, too can cry aloud for SUGAR
PLUMS. Sugar Plums for worms. Death
to worms. Life, health and joy to children.
